Brain mapping for radiosurgery planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a safe brain stimulation technique to map the motor area before focused radiation. It helps protect healthy brain tissue while treating tumors that have spread to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor (metastasis) located in or near the part that controls movement
- You have already had surgery to remove the tumor
- You are scheduled for targeted radiation (radiosurgery) after surgery
- You do not have any metal or electrical implants in your body (like a pacemaker or cochlear implant)
- You have not had radiation to that same area before

This trial tests whether repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain—can help restore arm or leg movement in patients who have had weakness after brain tumor surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for people recovering from surgery.
This trial tests giving focused radiation (radiosurgery) before surgery for certain resectable brain metastases. It may help shrink or control tumors in the brain before they are surgically removed.
This trial tests giving targeted radiation while surgeons are operating to treat brain metastases. It may help control the cancer locally at the time of surgery, especially for certain single lesions.
This trial tests giving powerful, precise radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) to large brain tumors before surgery, then using more radiation after surgery. It aims to see if this approach can control the tumor better while reducing side effects.
This trial tests a new way to deliver radiation to brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer, using MRI scans to guide the treatment and reduce the area exposed. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective while possibly lowering side effects.
This trial tests a special type of radiation therapy for brain tumors that aims to protect your memory and thinking skills. It may be an option if you have certain brain tumors or a small number of brain metastases.
